During your tenure as a Senior Consultant/Manager, you will demonstrate and develop your capabilities in the following areas

Design the performance framework

·Design the cybersecurity performance management framework: objectives, KPIs, KRIs, SLAs, targets and thresholds, data sources, owners, collection frequency and reporting lines

·Write and maintain the supporting methodology, procedures and SOPs for data collection, validation, calculation, review and sign-off

·Align metrics with the cybersecurity strategy, NCA ECC requirements and NIST CSF 2.0, so they measure outcomes and risk reduction, not just activity

·Review and refine metrics regularly, retiring ones that no longer drive decisions

Define success metrics for cybersecurity functions and roles

·Define clear success metrics for each cybersecurity function and its roles, agreed with each domain lead, for example:

oStrategy and architecture: roadmap milestones delivered, maturity uplift, designs reviewed before go-live, architecture exceptions open

oVulnerability management and penetration testing: scan coverage, remediation within SLA, ageing of critical vulnerabilities, retest closure rate, repeat findings

oApplication and OT security: applications onboarded to secure SDLC, critical code findings fixed before release, OT assets inventoried and monitored, OTCC gaps closed

oRisk and compliance: risks assessed and treated on time, overdue treatment plans, NCA ECC compliance score and trend, audit findings closed

oThird-party and supply chain: critical suppliers assessed before onboarding, reassessments on time, high-risk supplier findings open, critical suppliers with tested exit and continuity plans, fourth-party and concentration risks identified, supplier incidents and notification times

oGovernance and awareness: policies current and approved, committee actions closed, training completion, phishing simulation trends

·Define how each metric is measured: formula, data source, baseline, target, frequency, owner and evidence, so results are consistent and can be audited

·Set measures at three levels: programme outcomes, function performance, and role and team contribution, and link them so leaders can see how individual work adds up to programme results

·Support domain leads in using the metrics for team objectives and performance reviews

Work with the Governance team

·Work closely with the Governance & PMO team to understand governance implementation requirements: approved policies, standards, roles and RACI, committee decisions and NCA obligations

·Turn those requirements into measurable indicators, such as policy implementation and adherence, SOP compliance, role coverage, and committee decision and action closure rates

·Track whether governance decisions are actually implemented on the ground, and report gaps back to the Governance team and steering committee

·Provide performance evidence for ISMS management reviews and NCA compliance reporting

Measure services and the programme

·Track the service levels and performance of managed security services and key security vendors, and run monthly service reviews with clear actions

·Track programme delivery and benefits against plan, with the PMO

·Measure cybersecurity maturity and NCA compliance trends over time, with the Strategy and Compliance teams

Build dashboards and reports

·Build and maintain dashboards and scorecards for the CISO, steering committee and board (e.g. Power BI), with drill-down by function, team and role

·Automate data collection from security tools, GRC, TPRM and ticketing platforms where possible, so reports are timely and consistent

·Produce monthly and quarterly performance reports that explain what changed, why, and what needs to happen next, written in plain language for executives

Drive improvement

·Spot negative trends and missed targets early, analyse root causes with the owners, and agree improvement actions

·Track improvement actions to closure and show their effect in later reporting

·Validate data quality and challenge figures that don't add up
